Claiming that SHSTK and IBT are supported in the guest seems premature
as of this change, since you haven't actually done anything to
virtualize the features yet.

If IA32_XSS can dynamically change within the guest, it will have to
be enumerated by KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST. (Note that Aaron Lewis is
working on a series which will include that enumeration, if you'd like
to wait.) I'm also not convinced that there is sufficient
virtualization of these features to allow these bits to be set in the
guest IA32_XSS at this point.
